BY CHIKA OKEKE, Abuja
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has appointed Professor Shu’aibu Shehu Aliyu as the Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF). 

He replaces Ahmed Galadima Aminu,  who recently resigned to participate in the 2027 governorship election in  Adamawa State.

Tinubu also renewed the appointment of Engr. Sule Ahmed Abdulaziz's as the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) for a second and final term. 

Both appointments take immediate effect.
Prof. Aliyu, the new PTDF helmsman, was, until his appointment, the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for Mass Literacy, Adult and Non-Formal Education.

He is a distinguished academic and seasoned administrator with extensive experience in research, education, and institutional leadership. His appointment underscores the President’s commitment to strengthening key institutions in the petroleum sector and advancing capacity development for Nigeria’s energy industry. 

The President expects him to leverage his wealth of experience to reposition the PTDF for greater impact in human capital development, innovation, and strategic support for the oil and gas sector in line with national priorities.

Tinubu renewed Engr Abdulaziz's appointment following a comprehensive assessment of his performance and leadership of the nation’s transmission network. 

Under his stewardship, TCN has recorded notable improvements in grid stability, transmission capacity expansion, and system modernisation, reinforcing its critical role in Nigeria’s electricity value chain. 

Engr. Abdulaziz brings over three decades of experience in the power sector and has also strengthened regional electricity integration through his leadership in the West African Power Pool (WAPP).

President Tinubu urges both appointees to discharge their responsibilities with diligence, integrity, and a strong sense of national service, in alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda.

This was contained in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga on Thursday in Abuja.
